The school was built in the 1950s.
In 1978, a $6 million addition added a new library to the building.[3]
In 2006, planning for a construction project commenced which would renovate much of the school's buildings. The $83 million project included a new classroom wing and new gymnasium, and renovated much of the pre-existing 1978 structure. Most of the initial 1950s building was removed or renovated entirely in this process. Renovations were completed in December 2008.[4]
The school has a Quiz Bowl team, which won a national championship in 2000.[5][6] The team also won a Pennsylvania state championship in 2022.[7]
The school's student publication is called The Township Times.
In 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Education awarded a grant to the school to buy new technology. As part of the grant, the school received several smart boards and a number of student laptops.[8] On September 20, 2017 all students in grades 9-12 were issued an iPad.
